MODERN HEROISM

ALiLi MEN HAVE IT AND THE WOMEN, TOO ‘‘The. longer I live, the more 1 am amazed with the world,” said Herd Inohcape, in an address to the ltoyal Humane ’Society. “It is especially lull of heroism, not only ol t'-ie kind recognised by this society, but kinds—domestic and personal. ot which no one ever knows. I believe there is a heroic streak in all mo'-i and all a v Alien. There is a number ol cases reported concerning non-swim-mers attempting to / save persons from drowning. Somehow they cannot stand by, even tbougli they cannot swim and know' how impossible if is to help. Occasionally non-swim-mers actually succeed in these heroic attempts at rescue. I recollect a case in Australia where a. man, frowning in 50ft. of wafer, was saved bv a man wdio had not swum a yard in bis life before.”
